Dental Fillings

Do you have cavities?

Cavities are a common dental problem. They are caused by bacteria that eat away at your tooth enamel. If you don’t treat cavities, they can get bigger and cause pain.

Dental fillings are a way to fix cavities. The dentist will remove the decay and fill the hole with a filling material. Fillings can be made of composite, amalgam, or other materials.

If you think you have a cavity, see your dentist. They can diagnose the problem and recommend the best treatment for you

Do fillings hurt?

You shouldn’t feel any pain when you get a filling. Your dentist will numb your mouth so you’ll only feel a little pinch from the needle.
